Today I want to impress upon you how important it is that your DEXA scan results are properly interpreted and how we’re able to use the data to provide extra pieces of information that aren’t even in the report.
Without a proper interpretation, your DEXA scan report will be almost meaningless and you’ll only be extracting a fraction of its potential value.
How to read DEXA scan results: The first thing you’ll notice about your report is that it is full of numbers, about 150 in fact. It is a completely data-driven report and, apart from the colour image on the front page there is no qualitative explanation on it.
So to understand in any detail what your scan reveals about your body composition you need a clear explanation of everything that’s being measured and if your results are inside or outside the expected range.
For example, if your DEXA scan report says your lean mass index is 12, you’re A/G ratio is 1.1 and your BMD Z-score is 2.2, do you have any idea what any of that means?
Well, for the best explanation of a load of numbers and terminology you’ve never seen before, you need two things: (1) a huge amount of data that defines the boundaries and thresholds for what is normal and what is not; and (2) experience and expertise to explain what the data means for you as an individual and to understand variations for when the results don’t quite fit.

Bodyscan is the UK's only company dedicated to accurate body composition analysis with DEXA technology. Since 2015 we have performed over 21,000 private DEXA scans!
As well as your body fat percentage, Bodyscan's DEXA imaging will reveal your body fat percentiles - how you compare with thousands of men and women in your age group. We'll advise if you need to lose body fat and, if so, the amount of food you should eat every day and how long it will take to reach your goal.
If you're inactive or naturally skinny, chances are you have low muscle mass. And if you're looking to regain muscle mass, we'll measure how much muscle you have now and what you need to do to get big. Or bigger.
Bodyscan are the body recomposition experts, offering accurate scans, sound advice and food planning for fat loss, muscle gain or both.
We have two clinics offering DEXA body scans in London and the cost of a private DEXA scan is lower than you might think, so book your Baseline scan today.
